Etx-Cn8® Onboard Fan Connector; Schematics Of Fan Control - Kontron ETX®-CN8 User Manual

6.3 ETX-CN8® onboard fan connector
This section describes how to connect a fan to the connector located directly on the ETX®-CN8. With
certain BIOS-settings it is possible to control the fan depending on the Active Trip Point temperature.
The fan switches on/off depending on the adjusted Active Trip Point temperature. In order for this
feature to function properly an ACPI compliant OS is necessary.
Note: The ETX® CN8 BIOS supports only turning the onboard FAN ON/OFF. For additional support 3rd party software
is necessary.
